Southern Jewish Women and Their Social Service Organizations

MARK BAUMAN

THIS ARTICLE EXPLICATES the evolving roles of Jewish women in the South during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It will demonstrate that the challenges faced by their ethnic/religious group deeply influenced these women. Specifically, the women and their organizations constantly adjusted to meet the changing needs of the Jewish community. This group dynamic underlay how they attempted to fulfill gender-defined roles and aspirations. In the process of filling niches opened by altered circumstances, women's roles gradually expanded. In this evolutionary pattern turning points change, decline in importance, and blur.
